by describing the LAWS by which they are go- 

 verned by illustrating, in a pleasing and familiar 

 manner, the MECHANISM of the several LIVING 

 ACTIONS and divesting the whole of all technica- 

 lities he has been able to place before his readers 

 more correct views than are generally obtained from 

 volumes of higher pretensions. It has been his aim 

 so to illustrate the several functions of our organs 

 their intimate bearing upon each other, particularly 

 in the MECHANISM OF NUTRITION that the reader 

 cannot possibly fail to understand their real nature 

 and use; and be enabled to regulate his conduct 

 (so far as it relates to his mode of living) according 

 to the dictates of sound reason. He has also been 

 scrupulously careful not to lay down any rule of 

 conduct, by means of which HEALTH may be pre- 

 served or regained, and DISEASE avoided, without 

 supporting it by a series of arguments, which are 

 in themselves indisputable.
